Another Denver Bronco, Julius Thomas, arrested for failure to appear

DENVER — Another Denver Bronco was placed under arrest before this oh-so-close 2013 season could officially get underway, court records show.

Julius Thomas, who is slated start at tight end Thursday night when the team opens the year against the Baltimore Ravens, was arrested in late August for failure to appear in court after being issued a traffic citation, according to a court records.

Those records show Thomas was issued a ticket for failing to yield to an emergency vehicle on Jan. 25, just less than two weeks after the Broncos’ 2012 season was ended by the Ravens. He was given a court date for the misdemeanor charge on March 21, but did not appear.

Due to that failure to appear, Thomas was arrested on Aug. 28, the Broncos confirmed, just over a week before the team was set to face the Ravens yet again.

Thomas posted $500 bond, according to court records, and was released the same day he was arrested. He is scheduled to appear in court again on Sept. 12.

The Broncos confirmed that they were made aware of the arrest on the day it occurred.
